The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 2.3 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00037 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.6 SJR: 0.433 SNIP: 0.593 CiteScore™:: 4.3 H-Index: 35

ABSTRACT

A new computational procedure for heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop during condensation of pure refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures inside enhanced tubes is presented. A modified form of the Cavallini and Zecchin equation (Cavallini and Zecchin, 1971, 1974) for smooth tube has been implemented for condensation inside low-fin, micro-fin and cross-grooved tubes: the comparison with a set of around 300 experimental data points, including both pure refrigerants, azeotropic and zeotropic refrigerant mixtures, shows an absolute mean deviation of around 15%.
Two traditional models for adiabatic pressure losses inside smooth tubes, Sardesai et al. (1982) and Friedel (1979), have been modified for condensation inside micro-fin tubes. The comparison with available experimental data, a set of around 120 data points, shows an absolute mean deviation between 21 and 24%. A further extension of the same models has been used to predict pressure drop during vaporization inside micro-fin tubes: calculated values compare very well with experimental ones.
